  1. Cycle 1 Capability 齋藤　正雄（国立天文台） East Asian ALMA Project Scientist ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  2. 初期運用コンセプト • ALMA Early Science Cycle 0 • is expected to span 9 months. • allocates 550 hours of array time for Early Science projects. • ALMA Early Science Cycle 1 • is anticipated that1300 hours of array time will be available for Early Science projects. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  3. Cycle 0 仕様 • 16 x 12m antenna array • 18-125m, 36-400m baselines, 2 configurations • Single field imaging and Mosaics up to 50 fields • Frontend • Band 3 (2SB: 84GHz - 116GHz) • Band 6 (2SB: 211GHz - 275GHz) • Band 7 (2SB: 275GHz - 373GHz) • Band 9 (DSB: 602GHz – 720GHz) • Set of ~14 spectral modes (see later) • No single dish, No polarization, No special modes • Amp Calibration good to 5% (band 3) and less accurate at high frequencies • The goals are: better than 10% in bands 6 and 7, and better than 20% in band 9. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  4. Cycle 1 仕様（もうすぐ確定） • 32 x 12m antenna + 6 x 7m antenna array • Max baseline ~ 150-1000 m • Single field imaging and Mosaics up to 150 fields • Frontend • Band 3 (2SB: 84GHz - 116GHz) • Band 6 (2SB: 211GHz - 275GHz) • Band 7 (2SB: 275GHz - 373GHz) • Band 9 (DSB: 602GHz – 720GHz) • Cycle 0+Independent setup for each baseband • Total Power Observations • No polarization, No solar observation, No spectral sweep • ToO, Monitoring program. • PIs will apply for a required angular resolution and largest angular scale rather than specific configurations. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  5. Cycle 1観測で可能になりそう • アンテナ　12mアンテナｘ32台 • Cycle 0と比べ高感度、サイドローブ小さい • 最長基線長1000m • 最高分解能0”.17at 345 GHz • 7mアンテナ6台、単一鏡2台（広がった成分取得） • 7mアンテナは１つの配列、7mアンテナのみの観測は受け付けない • 単一鏡は輝線観測のみ、連続波は受け付けない • 単一鏡・干渉計コンバインはfeatheringのみ保証、joint deconvolutionの提供は確約できない • 各ベースバンドで違う周波数分解能設定 • 連続波と輝線観測でそれぞれの最適化が可 ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  6. 分光観測について補足 • Cycle 0と基本的には同じモードを提供、 • 各ベースバンドで独立した周波数分解能設定が可能、周波数設定の自由度向上 • サイドバンド分離の向上 • ベースバンド内サブバンドでの複数周波数分解能設定は不可 ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  7. Cycle 0では同じ周波数分解能設定のみ可能 ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  8. Cycle 1では別の周波数分解能設定も可能 ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  9. Cycle 0とCycle 1の比較 SG: Science Goal: 赤字は変更の可能性あり ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  10. 空間分解能 ExtendedConfiguration (最大基線長1000mを仮定） ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  11. 周波数分解能と帯域 Time Division Mode (TDM) or Frequency Division Mode (FDM). At 100 GHz - 0.05 km/s 0.1 km/s 0.2 km/s 0.4 km/s 0.8 km/s 1.6 km/s Effective spectral resolution is twice as channel spacing. 各ベースバンドで上記の組み合わせが自由にできる ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  12. 特別観測 • 下記についてはCycle 1で提供しないが、試験的に実施。データは検証後公開へ。試験参加等に興味ある方は齋藤まで連絡を • 偏波観測 • ターゲット：連続波、直線偏波、全強度の1%の精度 • 拡張ターゲット：輝線、モザイク、円偏波 • 太陽観測 • 単一鏡による活動領域の画像化、モニター • 時間分解能1秒での干渉計観測 • 天体の強度校正精度は厳しい • バンド4、バンド8（ACA-stand alone） ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  13. Cycle 1Programs • Standard Programs • Target of Opportunity • Discretional director’s Time • Time critical – scheduling of 1-2 week • Large programs not offered. • Highly rated Cycle 1 projects not observed in Cycle 1 will NOT be transferred to Cycle 2. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  14. Summary ALMA Early Science Cycle 0 just started and Cycle 1 CfP is planned to be issued in 2012Q1 or Q2. More capabilities expected for Cycle 1 than Cycle 0. Prepare for your proposal with understanding ALMA Cycle1 capability. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM

  15. www.almaobservatory.org The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership among Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA is funded in Europe by the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO), in North America by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the National Science Council of Taiwan (NSC) and in Japan by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan. ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of Europe by ESO, on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which is managed by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) and on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) provides the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA.. ALMA Cycle 1 Capability@ALMA UM
